Five Goldbacks

The Five Goldbacks is a popular product from Goldback Inc, and it contains 1/200th of a Troy Ounce of 24 karat gold.  The gold is vacuum deposited between two layers of polymer film to provide a lasting exchange of value.  The Five Goldbacks measures 2 9/16 x 5 1/8 in (6.3 x 13 cm) in size.  The front face is printed and serialized, the back polymer has no printing so the gold is directly visible.

Goldbacks are great as a voluntary local means of exchange (technically a thin rectangular gold coin).  Goldbacks are not backed by any entity and stand on the merit of their gold content, flexibility, embedded security features, and ease of use for individuals and businesses.

Individuals purchase Goldbacks for a non-fiat way to facilitate the exchange of value for products and services, for a store of value, for collectibility, or as gifts to friends and family.  Businesses purchase Goldbacks for many of the same reasons, and to gift to employees.
